I believe the idea that medieval people were much smaller than moderns comes from things like the low doorways of medieval houses and the small size of many armors preserved in museums. In reality, the ow doorways were mainly for defensive purposes and many fine plate armors were made for the young sons of nobles and royalty. If people of the future were to estimate the height of 20th-21st century people by the size of our bathtubs, they would conclude that the average American was about 5' tall, while our British contemporaries were 7' or taller.
